It’s just a great weasel word.
We all want to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in in mid-October. All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet. Races are tomorrow morning time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.
Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course. Here's the situation and preview for the Men.

it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb. Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar
have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious
and another medal. in Road Race this time.
Bronze despite a face crash in the middle of the race, her 5th medal of the year, 4th from 3 different sports World Championships
Hi @Griff88, @JoshMartini007, @mpjmcevoy, @vinipereira, @Vic Liu, @Cinnamon Bun, @hckošice, @rybak, @Josh, @avlar, @heywoodu, @rybak@MHSN@Epic Failure, @phelps, @ChandlerMne @Grassmarket, @De_Gambassi, @Olympian1010, @konig, @Monzanator , @dodge, @PHI2019, @Fer GUA Attached is points table based on Top 6 performance in each event where 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 7 pts, 3rd gets 5, 4th gets 3, 5th gets 2,6th gets 1. To measure nations' performance few terms have been introduced
'Quota' is number of participants per country in each event. Qualified but non-participation is not included in Quota.
'Top 6' is the number of events a country finished in Top 6.
Conversion = Top 6 / Quota which implies Contingent quality.
'Normalized Points' = Points / (Number of events in that sport). For example, if a country wins just 1 Gold in Archery, they will get 10 points but 10 points/ 9 events = 1.11 Normalized Points. This metric will be high for countries who earn points in multiple sports.
Sport' can be defined as set of events governed by same federation
Salient Observations
1) The nations' rank for points is closely related to rank of total medals won
2) Top spot for is deserved as they have the highest participation, almost 70% conversion and dominate many sports like Athletics, Swimming and Table Tennis
3) finished 9th despite limited participation
4) Best ever successful edition for as finished 21st in medal table and accumulated medals and points in Fencing, Table Tennis and Athletics
